Have you been meaning to get back to blogging on your business’s website but just cannot seem to find the time or motivation?

I have you covered!

—

Starting January 9th, Pebble Road Marketing is hosting our first Blogging Challenge of 2017. It is a great way for business owners who already have a blog — although one that may be feeling neglected — to get into the habit of blogging regularly. Join us for this 6 week free email course. That’s right, I’m going to coach you through your return to blogging weekly.

There was so much about Blogging that I didn’t really know I was capable of doing myself. The Blogging Challenge allowed me to experiment and test some dynamic Blog posts for my own website! I look forward to continuing and expanding my Blog with the knowledge I gained from the Challenge.

5 Reasons Blogging is Big for 2017

Shows Your Brand Personality: Blogging is a very direct way to show your customers exactly what is important to you and why they might do business with you

SEO: Search engines, especially Google, like to see movement and change on your website. That is, a static site will have more trouble getting noticed. Search engines index blog pages separately, so one blog post, one entry into Google. Yay!

Guest Blogging is Great Outreach: Who says you can only blog on your own site? Not me! Writing blogs for other, well-established sites has the potential to send hundreds, if not thousands, of people to your site. Not too shabby, right? (Most blogs want to see yours as proof you know what you’re doing, though, so keep yours current when your pitching for a guest spot)

Educational Tool: This is a really good place to clarify, teach, and give your community (clients, vendors, etc.) the information they need to choose you and your company. Who are you purchasing from? The single “buy” button on a stark site? Or a well-articulated site that makes you feel well cared for and listened to?

Sharing is Caring: Social media runs on content. By being one of the content providers (i.e. blog writers) on the web, you are giving others good, interesting things to share. AND, it’s nice to share your own things one in a while, instead of always curating from other sites

How the Challenge Works

Sign Up: Add yourself to the mailing list.

Facebook Group: Sometime before January 9th, you’ll receive notice that you’re being invited into The Challenges private Facebook group. This is a really good place to support other Challengers, get feedback on your ideas and posts, and connect.

Receive Your First Email on January 9th complete with a list of blog topic suggestions, an inspirational message from me, and fantastic, useful blogging information to get your blog rolling. Really don’t enjoy writing? I’ll give you an idea of how to blog that week without losing it.

Write A Blog Post: Each week for 6 weeks, write a post. Feel free to share it in the Challenge Facebook Group. This is all about getting into a habit — post by post.

Receive a New Email Each Week: We cover a new topic each week! As well, get a new list of topic suggestions, inspiration and support.

Tips and tricks to make that week’s post preparation enjoyable and effective
